Please remember to remove your food from the grill before putting the fireworks on the grill.

I agree with all of this, but who's going to be the center feeding Skinner the puck?

It's ok; the cover photo has him in a Leaves sweater.

Yeah--her editor should have asked her to do that. It's probably tough for academics like Beard to write "down" for the rest of us.

I had the same reaction to that book.

If this happens, I'll feel like the Sabres could have asked for just a little more. Like maybe Anaheim needs to throw a veteran in there. But I'll be ok--just ok--with it.

There was no downside to the Hall acquisition. The problem was the trade. Adams was had.

I'll ask Mrs. Weave then.

So @Weavedid you get laid Tuesday or not, FFS? 30th anniversary and you're on here posting about fishing. Geez.

***** off.

If not for the ranDom capital letter in the middle of this post, I would say it is the wisest post I've seen in a bit. (And yes, I needed to mention the random capital letTer just to mess with you.)

If by "grit" you mean Kucherov going down at a tap on the leg and drawing a fine for his opponent, sure.

He was drafted to be a center and he should have been a center all along. And I want him here. I know he has leverage, but I still want him here.

***** this *****.

But they might end up with more to protect after the trade. Can't know for certain.

Danault is what he is: a good defensive forward who excels at faceoffs. He's Gaustad. I wouldn't mind him here but I wouldn't break the bank for him.

It's what NBC does. They pick one athlete, seemingly at random, like Karch Kiraly, and harp on about how great he/she is through an entire series/Olympics/golf tournament/whatever. It must be in their internal style manual or something.

Agree w/ the second part but check @Randall Flagg's post regarding the first part.

Jessie Pegula has made the US Olympic team. Accusations of meddling in 5...4...3...

It has been insane the last few months.

Hey! @josiemade that!

Well it's just as disturbing today.

I can imagine what the thread here would have looked like.

Now THAT was a game of bounces, and they all went Tampa's way.

Depends on the roster. If he has a reasonable NHL roster to work with, 20 or 30 games. If the Sabres are hitting the reset button again, longer.
